some serious problems between my comp & connections

calvin91 · 12-31-2007, 08:16 PM

so EVERYTIME when i turn on my computer(ive had my comp for a few months now, really new and expensive) the screen have a signal, and i have some usb connected stuff which should light up, but dont. the only way to fix it is to restart it, or turning on the comp after the main power switch is turn off then back on.

1 more thing ive noticed lately, just last night, i had my comp turned off, but then i moved the mouse, it turned on again.... and i believe once i turned off the monitor while the comp was off, then the comp turned on... any ideas?? thanks.

I was trying to make sense of your post, but it was hard. The reason your comp turned on when you moved your mouse is because it wasn't off, it was in sleep mode. It does that to save power. If the monitor has a signal, I don't see why you have a problem. I don't know what you mean by USB stuff that isn't lighting up. You need to explain your problem in more detail and arrange the thoughts clearly so it's easier to decipher.

what i meant to say was, my monitor doesnt have a signal at first.... and also i have stuff connected via usb, like a joystick, the lights on it should light up when comp is on, but they dont. only turns on after a restart or having pwr switched turned off then turned on then turn on the comp...

also, the thing is, not everytime i move the mouse the comp turns back on..

I think your computer is just in sleep mode to conserve power. Right click your desktop then click properties, screen saver and hit none. Then click power under monitor power and make it so the monitor doesn't turn off and the system doesn't standby. This will deplete the life of your monitor however. I don't know if this is the problem you are talking about, but if it is, you could also just hit a button on your keyboard when you're monitor is off as long as your computer is on and it will wake up...
